MEDICAL INFORMATION IN NORTH CYPRUS
CHEMIST
The word for chemist is ‘Eczane’ and they can be found
in most towns and larger villages. Pharmacists normally have a basic
knowledge of English and most medical terms are internationally
known and used. If you do have any minor ailments then (as in UK)
it’s best to try the Chemist before you call a Doctor. There
is always a duty chemist open after hours and on a Sunday. This
information will be in the English newspaper – The Cyprus
Today – or displayed in the windows of the main chemists in
Kyrenia. A very well stocked chemist is Enver, opposite the Cyprus
Paradise office.
DOCTOR
We sincerely hope that you do not fall ill during your holiday.
However, if you do, you can go to the Kyrenia Medical Centre, Isil
Sokak, No 6, Girne. There are several doctors who work at this private
clinic. The telephone numbers are 815 3282/815 3524/ 815 1791. The
main public hospital is just past the post office heading east out
of Kyrenia. Alternatively contact your hotel reception who will
be able to contact a doctor for you.
- Medical care and medicine is expensive here so be prepared
for a large bill.

company direct.
